Alright. But just some fyi... If you send me a pm during august-october, you wont get a reply. I'll be in texas for air force basic training. But keep up the good work on a great chassis that is totally under used.

So after my cousin (SHG Beans) had 2 incedents with his dunlops (1 flat and another almost flat) I decided to put a spare back in the car.

We had this spare from our S2000 race car at the shop so I scooped that up and installed it with the OEM EP3 jack and took kit...

Mint mint mint!

DicerYuri

is there no room for a full size spare???

SHG_EasyE

No definitely not. The s2000 spare is just the right size and the trunk board lays perfectly flat over it. With a full size spare i wouldnt be able to run the OEM trunk board and it would suck lol. Gotta keep that trunk fully functional and OEM

SHG_Claudio

How much extra weight are you carrying around now, any idea?

SHG_EasyE

About 34lbs. Ill take it out at the track when weight actually matters. Wont notice that extra weight on the street but I will definitely notice not getting stranded when I get a flat haha.

SHG_Claudio

Damn right! I should really throw mine on...

Got my update going up in a bit too btw!

Banners are finally sorted and mine is the first one to be done! Mikes and Laurens will hopefully be complete later this week

Im LOVING this look

Here is the original (top) graphic vs the revised (bottom)... we decided the first was too small and opted to enlarge it. Glad we did!

Also got the washers in today for my M6 stainless hardware

Popped it in a few key spots

And last but not least... did some intake testing today but more on that later... for now heres a quick sound clip

SHG_Claudio

Knew you had to be up to something! Hardware is neat and the banners came out fiyahh.

skipunk4

Dude banner is SICK! Lovin the hardware as well man. Gonna have to get your source on those!

SHG_EasyE

Been a busy couple days putting in work on the car after the 9-5 job!

Spring perches got here the other day and I FINALLY got to install the rear FEEL's/Aragosta shocks. Theyre basically totally custom now, the only thing left from the originals are the pistons, lower mounts, and top hats. New bodies and valve stacks were made because the original parts are out dated and no longer in production for replacements.

Custom SHG Delrin lower bushings

Assembled with 1000lb springs

Then I threw it on the scales for a corner weight and alignment. I set the cross at 49.5% with driver weight (170lbs) to give the car a little tendency to oversteer in right turns over left turns since the tracks I will be running run counter clockwise. I was also able to get a 60/40 split while keeping the ride height were I wanted it from an appearance standpoint.

SHG_Claudio

That alignment is boss! Its so cool that you can get such an solid weight distribution and the ride height still looks nice and even.

SHG_Chiquita

think the banner just makes the car hehe

SHG_EasyE

Yeah dude I was so happy when it started coming together and I realized my ride heights for all 4 corners were within 1/8 inch! Also, something I was really surprised at was that theres no bind in the swaybars.

So when you cross weigh the car the ride heights are obv different to adjust the weight on each wheel, so that will push and pull on the ends of the swaybar, making it act like a spring and throwing the reading off. Thats why race cars use adjustable endlinks so that the swaybar is never preloaded at static ride height.

Well, even though mine arent adjustable in the rear the swaybar isnt preloaded.... just worked out really well

^Sammy]!.

Another great job by the E man!! bud

SHG_EasyE

The car and the crib!

SHG_Claudio

Thats crazy man, 1/8'' is nothing. I never thought about the swaybars being preloaded if the car is corner weighed or just has an uneven height but it makes a lot of sense. Very neat stub of info

I'm thinking of swapping around my coils what do you think?

They are 10K front and 6K rear so that they then become 6k front and 10k rear. That would somewhat compensate for my lack of a sway bar by having a tendency to oversteer IMO.

Haylex

Very nice!! Whole suspension setup is too legit

Not sure on the banner on the car on its own, but I think it'll look great with all the cars lined up next to each other

Dont do this on an EG setup, just get an rsb and appropriate reinforcement if required

1.5Slowmatic

just gets better and better. for your brake dust, take a look at armor all wheel protectant. i run hawks and i use this and i can go a month without cleaning my wheels and they are barely dust covered. its great stuff for the moeny.

kre8speed

Damn just beautiful. I have been through all of the SHG threads and you guys are awesome. keep up the good work.

SHG_EasyE

Thanks, Ive always loved this teal color on the techno pro spirit cars, its definitely a love it or hate it thing.

Nice man thanks for the tip, Im gonna pick some up next time I get a chance

Thanks dude, you know SHG does work
